And the winner is…..

During our recent trip to Lincoln, (see previous posting) the table-talk turned to remedies for rough hands.
Les White sang the praises of Operdildock (sic) and the race was on to find out what was this miracle cure as used by artisans of yore.
The answer, given by Mike White (any relation?) leads us to Wikipedia.Read all about it and be amazed that Les was using a remedy invented in the fifteenth century. Didn’t think you were that old, Les.
